Taking him somewhere hidden, Lucifer proceeds to extract the latter's grace. He threatens the cupid for information about other angels but the latter begs for mercy since there are few angels left. Lucifer tells the cupid he should be careful now that he's human before he kills him by impaling him with his hand.

Castiel returns to the bunker and talks with Sam and Dean who he tells of his imprisonment by Asmodeus who was mimicking him and using his phone to talk to them. When asked why he was captured, Castiel states it was because of the latter wanting Lucifer who he reveals to the surprised brothers has returned from the alternate reality. The brothers ask how he could have came back as Castiel reveals it was due to the other world's Kevin Tran using a spell to allow it. Castiel confirms they have an angel tablet which that world's Michael intends to use so he could invade their world which leaves the brothers shocked.

After the day is over, he confronts her and reveals he is aware she is an angel named Anael as she remarks on who he is but is not too impressed with it.

Quotes[]

Hail to the King, baby.


Mr. Ketch, meet the Archangel Gabriel.


We're not in Heaven, we're on Earth. You may have noticed, around here? Good life ain't cheap.
Anael to Lucifer


After the Fall, Angels were a mess. Desperate for housing, any vessel would do, and they had no long game. I, on the other hand, took some care. I listened. A woman prayed for her dying husband, so we made a trade: his life for her vessel. She was grateful. I realized humans are so desperate for life. They'd do almost anything, pay almost anything. So... kaching! I was a so-so angel but turns out, I am an excellent businesswoman.
Anael to Lucifer


Dean: Alright, I say we take this dick-bag here back to the bunker, find out what he knows and put a bullet in him, burn his bones and flush his ashes.
Castiel: I like that plan.


I feel emotions, sensations, things they must feel (...) When I'm that place, I see how there'd be pain but there's also hope, love even. Angels can only imagine. Sometimes I envy humans, they can be anything.
Anael
